For Today… I love February Outside my window…. It’s gray and 40*. I am thinking… about direct objects. We just watched our Latin for Children A lesson. Chapter 20. Will we every finish this book? I am thankful… for my nephew who is celebrating his 3rd birthday today. I am wearing… jeans, blue printed long…
The Green Ember by S.D. Smith My rating: 4 of 5 stars We enjoyed this audiobook as a family. I had encouraged the children to try to read the ebook version on several occasions, but they didn’t get very far. I won a copy of the audiobook and started it on a long cartrip….

A New Year should mean a new graphic, right? I loved the green in last year’s, but I think I’ll enjoy the blues for this year. Anyway, on with the show. We had a really good week of school. We accomplished quite a lot in our four days of formal lessons and enjoyed Friday fun….

I love finding definitions in the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary. The first definition in the 1828 for the word attend is “To go with, or…
